Just curious, are you looking for the info in the combat logs or are you looking for the SCOURGE above their heads, or both?

According to City of Data, the ability to Scourge IS baked into the power ... however the eligibility to Scourge is checked BEFORE damage is done, not WHILE damage is being done, because the City of Heroes game engine works on a basis of Resolve First, Animate After.  So if you use Hail of Bullets while your $Targets are "above the Scourge line" in HP remaining, then NONE of them will be subject to Scourge while Hail of Bullets is damaging them.  In this respect, if you want to Scourge with Hail of Bullets, you want to be using Hail of Bullets as a "mop up finisher" rather than an opening alpha attack (when everything you're damaging is at full Health).
